Sirât

Luis (Sergi López) arrives with his son Esteban (Bruno Núñez Arjona) at an illegal rave deep in the desert of southern Morocco. He is searching for his daughter Mar, who disappeared months ago during one of these boundless parties. Desperately seeking a final trace of Mar, they follow a group of ravers even deeper into the desert. This becomes a physical and spiritual trip, accompanied by a hypnotizing soundtrack. 

The Moroccan desert serves as the imposing backdrop for this dangerous quest, with memorable moments that definitely put Spanish director Oliver Laxe (Mimosas) on the map. 

Sirât won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. In addition to actor Sergi López (Pan's Labyrinth, Lazzaro felice), Oliver Laxe mainly relies on an inexperienced cast. The film was co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar's production company and is on the Oscar shortlist for Best International Film.
